Not my favorite May Day

Had a lot of pain issues yesterday. Wingstubs flaring up and a sinus headache that all but reduced me to tears. Did some yoga, which helped but only briefly, and sat down to write with limited success. In the end, I curled up with Hobkin and tried to sleep, but couldn’t relax. So Matthew read to me–one of the stories out of the Polyphony 4 anthology, actually a part of one of the stories–and I managed to relax enough to fall asleep. I love my hubby.

Still hurting this morning, which does not bode well for the day.

Writing Stuff

Did 200 words on the fantasy short, but couldn’t push on. Stupid traitorous human suit. Did some research on Han warfare tactics, armor, and weaponry. The Chinese had handheld crossbows in 200 BC. They also had steel. Wow. Also did some research into the clothing styles, Hanfu, which were very different from the mandarin styles that gained prominence in subsequent dynasties.

    *gentle hugs* I hope you feel better soon. I’m glad you have such a nice hubby to read to you.

  2. Hope you feel better soon. Sounds like an icky sickness.

    The Chinese had such a headstart on the rest of us, technology-wise. I wonder how they went so terribly wrong.

      As soon as they began to revere the status quo, it became the foundation of their decline. Any society that doesn’t value progress and innovation is doomed to fall behind. They were standing still while other civilizations caught up with them, and then passed them by. Can’t rest on one’s laurels.

    I hope today finds the pain lessening for you as time passes. I’m sorry to hear that yesterday was the creature it was.

    If you capitalize Han, don’t you have to capitalize Mandarin too?

    When ill or in low spirits it is most wonderful to be comforted by the ones we love. A local expert in comforting, Pippin the cat, says “Meow!” I think that translates to “Give Hobkin a snuggle”. Suzy and I agree. We also suggest giving Matt a big hug. But don’t squeeze either so hard their eyes bug out!

    Sinus headache are not fun! I hate them. Hoping your sinuses drain and the pain passes, soon. And that the word flow easily, once again.

    I’ve had a sinus headache for the past two days. Must be something in the air. My shoulders are also really knotted up. My hubby gave me a shoulder massage this morning which really helped. Sounds like Matt is a great hubby too! Isn’t love grand? I just need a skunk to snuggle with. My cat is too cantankerous and my dog is too needy. She doesn’t just want to snuggle, she demands to be constantly petted and if I stop she nudges me. Silly dog.

    I really need to get back to writing. I’m dealing with Effexor withdrawal and my brain has felt like goat cheese. Heh, talk about a random image…

    I really hope you feel better. You inspire me. Hugs.
